I will end up going to the dealer I think to see if Scion has this or not.

When you take off the front bumper, which I did to install fog lights. There like 8 bolts to undo. What is that plastic piece that you unbolt from the front bumper on both sides? I couldnt get 2 bolts screwed back on and was waiting a few days to get a buddy to get done for me. And I notice today a small little chunk of this flap thing is broken, where this 1 nut would have screwed onto of the bumper. You know, the thing you have to push against the bumper and screw together so there is no spacing there from the fog lights area? I hope I explained it, tried the best! I just dont know if it's something only the manufacturer can construct or has as a whole piece. The rest of it doesnt hang at all, doesnt flap against the tires thank god. Its all screwed on except this one little part on one side.

Uhh.. the fender lining?

I was thinking maybe the tab from the splash guard but I have no idea.

Yea sounds right. The fender lining. You know, in front of the wheel, you have to unbolt a couple bolts, the underneath the car, and to the other side. To pull off the front bumper. There is like a little hole now, I can reach in and touch my fog lights if I want. Not a hole in the bumper. The little lining between the wheel and front bumper. What is that piece called, or is a fender lining? I can get a pic soon I think would have to do to clearly explain. But if you look at your car, and turn your front wheels which you have to do to unscrew the bolts to pull off your front bumper, is that what its called? the lining? Would the manufacturer make that or dealer have it? I just cant believe I couldnt get the screws back on and left it kinda hanging and wind or something tore a piece of it off, and now nothing to screw that thing back on because its a little hole in it.

I was first afraid something could get in there break the fog lights or mess up the wiring or something since its supposed to be closed in..... any help? and they're not flaps, that would be behind the wheel. This is in front of the wheel, front end of the car attached to the bumper

Mine flew off while driving on the freeway, it happens. Email trdsparks and explain the part, possibly adding a picture which would help. They'll let you know what parts you need.

edit: this is who to email
ken@trdsparks.com

another edit: mine flew off since i didn't even screw the screws in

fail on my part

Hahaha.. But I was reading a minute ago somewhere that if you don't have the fender lining, then you can build up dirt or whatever and can ruin fog lights, harnesses and stuff. So you're going without it?

My buddy runs without them, and has for a while and his car is fine. Honestly, you should replace it to protect the fogs, and keep the bay clean. I've just been busy with school so I haven't had time

I found it! 70 something dollars on trd sparks.com Seems like a cheap price! God they are great =) and thats 70 each side, normally like 95.00 on their site. I hear dealers from what im reading around on the net are over a hundred dollars each side. The protector is only like 35.00 Not sure what that is though. I emailed TRD sparks and sure they can tell me the difference between the liner and protector.
